      (to ECM)

      Disconnect the H110 ECU connector.

    2. Disconnect the A51 ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      for AD Series Engine
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H110-13 (EFIO) - A51-16 (IMI) Always Below 1 Ω
      H110-13 (EFIO) or A51-16 (IMI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      for ZR Series Engine
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H110-13 (EFIO) - A51-11 (IMI) Always Below 1 Ω
      H110-13 (EFIO) or A51-11 (IMI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      for AD Series Engine
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H110-13 (EFIO) - Body ground Always Below 1 V
